There is little evidence showing the relationship between the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and g (general intelligence). This research established the relationship between SAT and g, as well as the appropriateness of the SAT as a measure of g, and examined the SAT as a premorbid measure of intelligence. In Study 1, we used the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. Measures of g were extracted from the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery and correlated with SAT scores of 917… Expand

ACT and General Cognitive Ability.
Abstract Research on the SAT has shown a substantial correlation with measures of g such as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Another widely administered test for college… Expand
SAT predicts GPA better for high ability subjects: Implications for Spearman's Law of Diminishing Returns.
TLDR
This is the first study to show that the predictive validity of the SAT varies for ability groups that differ in g, and contradict a presumption, based on Spearman's Law of Diminishing Returns, that a test's predictive validity should be lower for high ability subjects. Expand
Relations among general intelligence (g), aptitude tests, and GPA: Linear effects dominate
Abstract This research examined linear and nonlinear (quadratic) relations among general intelligence ( g ), aptitude tests (SAT, ACT, PSAT), and college GPAs. Test scores and GPAs were obtained from… Expand
SAT and ACT predict college GPA after removing g
Abstract This research examined whether the SAT and ACT would predict college grade point average (GPA) after removing g from the tests. SAT and ACT scores and freshman GPAs were obtained from a… Expand

TLDR
This Special Issue concludes with suggestions for future research, with a focus on theories of non-g factors (e.g., investment theories, Spearman’s Law of Diminishing Returns, Cognitive Differentiation-Integration Effort Model) and a magnification model of non -g factors. Expand
Are cognitive g and academic achievement g one and the same g? An exploration on the Woodcock–Johnson and Kaufman tests
Abstract We examined the degree to which the conventional notion of g associated with IQ tests and general cognitive ability tests (COG-g) relate to the general ability that underlies tests of… Expand
Males have greater g: Sex differences in general mental ability from 100,000 17- to 18-year-olds on the Scholastic Assessment Test ☆
In this study we found that 17- to 18-year old males averaged 3.63 IQ points higher than did their female counterparts on the 1991 Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). We analysed 145 item responses… Expand
Validation of the Frey and Detterman (2004) IQ prediction equations using the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales
Abstract This study sought to assess the ability of the equations Frey and Detterman (2004) presented to assess IQ in the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales (RIAS). The study confirmed Frey and… Expand
